| Rural tourism is a significant constituent of tourism,and over the years,rural tourism in China has been maintaining a rapid growth trend.Spatial pattern is a significant feature of rural tourism development,and tourism flow is a vital representation of tourism spatial pattern in rural tourism places.Analyzing the spatial characteristics of rural tourism destinations through tourism flow has become an important perspective of rural tourism research.However,most of the existing studies concentrate on the static spatial characteristics of rural tourism destinations,and there is not enough research on the evolution based on time series,so this thesis takes Huzhou city as an example and analyzes the evolution of its tourism spatial pattern based on the spatial network of tourism flow.Huzhou city is rich in rural tourism resources,which is a typical case of rural tourism development in China.This thesis takes the rural tourism flow in Huzhou city as the research object,takes online travel notes as the research material,uses the relevant theories and methods of social network analysis and with the help of Gephi 0.9.2,Ucinet v6.186,Arc GIS 10.2 and other software.The evolution characteristics of the spatial network structure of rural tourism flow in in Huzhou city are compared and analyzed in four stages from 2001-2007,2008-2012,2013-2017 and 2018-2021,and the main factors affecting the evolution of the spatial network structure of rural tourism flow in Huzhou city are analyzed.The corresponding optimization suggestions are put forward from three levels: nodes,routes and spatial regions.The main conclusions of the research are as follows:(1)From the perspective of node structure evolution,the spatial network of rural tourism flow in Huzhou city has an obvious hierarchical structure.Tourism nodes with different intensity of agglomeration radiation effect among them,the overall presentation of the north-south distribution,and competitive advantages are gradually highlighted.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation among tourism nodes and make the spatial network of rural tourism flow balanced growth in Huzhou city.(2)From the perspective of the overall structural evolution,the overall spatial network of rural tourism flow in Huzhou city maintains a medium level,with an obvious core agglomeration trend.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the connection between the core area and the periphery area,optimize the spatial network structure of rural tourism flow in Huzhou city,and promote the synergistic development of regional rural tourism.(3)From the perspective of influencing factors,the spatial network structure evolution of rural tourism flow in Huzhou city is mainly influenced by tourism resource endowment,natural environment factors,tourism transportation conditions,tourism public service system construction,government policy support and other factors.Based on the above conclusions,this thesis puts forward the following suggestions.Strengthen the core tourism nodes,strengthen the cooperation of tourism nodes;build a better tourism public service system,optimize rural tourism routes;construct a new spatial pattern of rural tourism with "one development pole leading,two development cores interacting,four corridors connecting,and multiple aggregation areas co-constructing".It strengthens the point radiation,points develop into lines,lines make up surfaces,optimizes the spatial pattern of the overall tourism,and accelerates the sustainable development of rural tourism in Huzhou city. |
